This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.
This is beautiful
COURT: Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry DATE FILED: May 23, 2025 A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed in Vancouver against Anthropic PBC. The plaintiff alleges that Anthropic PBC violated copyright held by Canadian authors when training its large language models. Specifically, the plaintiff alleges that Anthropic PBC downloaded “Books3” dataset. This dataset contains large amounts of copyrighted works, including books and articles by Canadian authors. The plaintiff alleges that Anthropic PBC used and unlawfully copied and shared these copyrighted works, and did not license or otherwise obtain permission to do so from the copyright holders.

Canadian authors, if you aren't eligible for the US Anthropic lawsuit bc you didn't register US copyright, we have our own class action suit! It doesn't rely on registering copyright and you're included in the class by default 🇨🇦

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Been waiting eagerly till a bit later in the day to say this, but happy birthday, The Vision of Escaflowne! <3 Airing on TV Tokyo in Japan 30 years ago today!
Magnificent show. 💜 And one that could have been so different if the original director (G Gundam's Yasuhiro Imagawa) had stayed on board.

A digital illustration of a cartoon character kicking a blue pig while holding up a sign. Above the sign reads "Remember", and within it reads: "Do not sign up to join a protest. Just show up!". A speech bubble leading to the character contains the words: "That's how all your info gets put on a list!!".
stop being silly in front of me

I ended up writing a Genre Grapevine column about all this that goes into more detail than my Bluesky thread possibly could. Check it out for additional details.
I also urge all SFWA members to contact the organization about this change. 8/

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen
a whole new world to explore
getting the onion newspaper is worth it alone for the ads
Skywarp and Mirage, both jets, flying in root mode. Mirage is holding onto Skywarp’s hands for dear life as they fly through the air. Mirage is in distress and Skywarp is delighted.
some scenario where Mirage wakes up with his flyer’s frame but has no idea how to floooyy (Skywarp is very cheesed)

idk who needs to hear this but SSD's are about to skyrocket in price soon due to AI. it already happened to RAM super recently, where even cheap kits have more than doubled in price. it is now going to happen to flash storage, and might not be going down for a long time.
Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...
Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE
You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count
